Item description : Young plant with 2l eaves in a 1.4 liters pot. You receive a plant similar to the one on pictures..
WARNING YOUNG PLANT: Young Zamia are very sensitive and I highly suggest to keep them at minimum 20°C during the night with temperature raising to 26-30°C during the day, and high humidity!
Habitat and Description : Very rare Mexican species! It makes a short trunk with fairly long leaves (up to 2 meters). It looks a bit like Zamia inermis but can be distinguished by the spines on the petiole.Interesting fact: genetic studies showed that this species is really distinct from the other Mexican species and separated very early from the group .
Cultivation : Medium difficulty, well draining medium is needed. This species will prefer a warm and humid environment, but it can tolerate cooler and drier conditions, better under half shade to get nice leaves. Have a look at the Zamia cultivation article in the “Horticulture” section of the website to get more info.
Cold hardiness : Tropical, will tolerate temperatures close to 0°C for a short time but it should preferably be kept at a minimum of 15-20°C during the night, and 25-30°C during the day
(Disclaimer : Cold hardiness varies from one place to another and also depends of the size and origin of the plant)
